[THIN] quick question on virtualization platforms

Gurus and associated experts,

I work for a company with a HUGE investment in VMware ESX and I can safely say that I am very knowledgeable in the product(s). I now have an opportunity to build a new virtualization infrastructure for another company and I'm toying with the idea of stepping out of my comfort zone to look at products like XenServer, MS Hyper-V, or Virtual Iron. I understand that this is mainly a Citrix/RDP list, but I would also assume that many, or most of you, are experts in one VM solution or another. Can anyone with experience in VMware and one or more of the other products offer up your insite into the differences, strengths and weaknesses of each? All of the vendors have their own comparison models, so I'm really looking for personal experience.

Thanks in advance.
K Stewart
